Hi, crafty friends. I’m back today with a simple card featuring Hot Air Balloon from Rachelle Anne Miller. I’ve used this image before, but this time, I flipped it. The little girl faces left in the original image, and one of the advantages of digital stamps is that it’s easy to create a mirrored image.
I printed my image on X-Press It blending card and colored it with Copics. I chose a soft blue green for the balloon itself, and vibrant colors for the florals to make them pop. Using the largest die in the Blueprints 27 die set from My Favorite Things, I turned my image into a panel with a nice scalloped border with faux stitching, put lots of foam tape on the back and mounted it to a card base I covered with a quarter sheet of Wildberry cardstock from Concord & 9th.
I die cut hello from the Blooming Delight die set from Altenew four times from white cardstock and once from Wildberry cardstock, stacked all the layers together and adhered my sentiment, before finishing with a few opal gems from Spellbinders.
Quite a few Copics for this one.
